Inaugural poet Richard Blanco, whose poem Until We Could was brought to life last week in a gorgeous Freedom to Marry video, speaks to NPR about his coming out process: “I really didn’t end up coming out until much later in life … and what really fascinated me as a writer and as an investigator is, how does that happen? How is it that moment by moment the next notch of courage, the next notch of self-understanding — even though you know you’re gay at 12, 13, 14 [years old], those words can’t even enter your mind.
